Part 2 - All & Sundry - T489693514

Return to the days in the seventies when life was a bit simpler and a hotel in Torquay was run by a man named Basil Fawlty. His life would be fine if only he didn't have those annoying guests to deal with, not to mention his wife, Sybil, who would sometimes agree with him and his Spanish waiter, Manuel, could at least understand him. Now he has two more outrageous guests to cope with alongside a renovation of the hotel that doesn't quite go according to plan. Life wasn't simpler for Basil in those days since these three events are destined to go down in Torquay history..Presented byAll & Sundry. Director Mike Richardson.

Live on Stage - T02051367011

Set in a hotel in Torquay, there were only 12 episodes of Fawlty Towers made between 1975 and 1979. Now, more than 30 years on, three of the best loved episodes of the classic BBC TV series written by John Cleese and Connie Booth will be presented live on stage. Audiences can expect to see snobbish Torquay hotel owner, Basil, trying to rule the roost in competition with his domineering and over-coiffured wife Sybil. While calm and capable waitress Polly keeps the peace, and hopeless Barcelona-born waiter Manuel adds to the mayhem. With even more favourite characters from the award-winning sitcom set to make appearances, such as resident guests The Major, Miss Tibbs and Miss Gatsby and a steady stream of abused guests, this fun-filled show should not be missed.
